However, most elements of the plot seem very far fetched and unrealistic for a movie that's trying to give a "real" representation of martial arts. The biggest disappointment of all considering what the movie is about, were the fight scenes, which I found very poorly choreographed and executed.

Tries too hard to be the darkest of dark comedies ruining its incredible revenge flick potential. The pacing is horrendous and felt more like 3 episodes of a TV mini-series.

James H (us) wrote: 60/100. I liked the western influences on the era it was set in, the early 1930's. Very good score and cinematography. A real effort was made to capture the time. Good performances from everyone. Moody atmosphere. The pacing is a little too slow sometimes, but the overall effect of the movie is impressive. Good story, nicely directed.

Michael J (gb) wrote: This was a very touching movie and had me in tears and laughter. Walter Matthau was excellent in his role and was perfect as an alcoholic. Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, and Lisa Kudrow were great. Definitely a must- see.

Put Sam Mendes' "Away We Go" in postwar torn Tokyo, and I think the outcome wouldhave its similarities. Yuzo and Masako are an engaged couple that meet up in the city for a date on Sunday. The poor couple only have 35 yen for the day, and during this time, they meet (un)usual characters of postwar Tokyo, play a little baseball with kids, look at new houses they cannot afford, get into a fight with ticket scalpers, and watch the rest of Tokyo start to rise, talk about their dreams of marriage and opening a bakery. Some scenes near the end dragged a bit, especially after the quarrel. But then again, this was before Godard invented the jump-cut time lapse, which would have really helped here. But overall, a journey well-taken, and a very good film that shows Kurosawa was up and coming.

Clintus M (ag) wrote: The glory days of the chain-smoking LA cops' "hat squad" are brought back in this stylish neo-noir conspiracy thriller. They represent a tough, no-nonsense approach to criminals, with just the right amount of smart-aleck humor thrown in (not annoyingly constant like The Expendables). Director Lee Tamahori captures all the atmospherics and details of the "atomic age." The cast is fantastic, led by emotional performances by Nolte and Griffith. Jennifer Connelly is a mesmerizing, enchanting beauty. She plays a world-wise girl who still manages to stay fresh-faced. The spot-on recreation of LA's bygone glamour era, the conspiracy-laden plot, and the excellent cast highlight this film. I'm a sucker for neo-noir, and although this isn't quite Chinatown, it is a valiant effort. Tamahori and writers Dexter and Mutrux even chose to end the film on a down note. The squad's broken up, and Griffith leaves Nolte, exclaiming "You broke my heart, Max." Noirs shouldn't have happy endings.

Five betas (James Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, and Craig Robinson) and one alpha (Danny McBride) attempt to ration supplies after dozens of their friends (incl. Michael Cera, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, and Paul Rudd) are sucked down to hell during a typical hedonistic Hollywood party. While holed up, the six friends film Pineapple Express 2. Some really cool cgi coupled with the sort of humor you'd expect with this group.
